Beck's a Father, Baby (Don't Kill Him)

Beck just put out a new CD called Modern Guilt (which on first listen is pretty awesome) and in an interview with Parade magazine he discussed the role that fatherhood has on his songwriting:

How has fatherhood influenced your work? Are any of the songs on this album inspired by your family?

"Not directly, but like everything in your life it comes out here and there. Having children shifts your view of things in ways you may not always be conscious of, but it’s there and I'm sure it’s there in the music."

Is that deep or just a fancy 'no?'

Honestly, I didn't even know that MAD magazine still existed. The last time I even thought of it was when Beck did that video* that folded up like the back cover of any given issue.

Norman Rockwell must be rolling in his grave.

I'll give it to MAD, they're spot on. So is that morning sickness for Nicole or bad soup?

Odelay! Beck Has Two Turntables and Two Kids!

Beck Hansen, sporting his devil's haircut, and his wife, Marissa, have had a second child. No details have been released. The couple already have a son named Cosimo. Of course they do.

Beck has always claimed that he's a loser, but I don't know, sure he's crazy, in a Scientology sort of way, but when it comes to putting out great music and awesome shows, the guy is a winner. He also claims that in the age of chimpanzees he was a monkey. I can't comment on that.
